  1. Glowy, Thanks for the quick response. The thing is I need to do the 'aforementioned' without having dialog boxes popup etc. The reason being that this solution needs to be used on hundreds of machines.. Any other idea's welcomed. (thanks for the idea Glowy!) P
  2. If anyone can help with this I would be most greatful.. I have a custom theme that I have created for Windows XP. I goto the display properties, and select the Theme, then click OK and the theme is applied. What I need to do is to automate the process of clicking that OK button to apply the theme. I was thinking of writing a VB app to do this, but I am stuck before I've started! I know how to import the registry settings, but how can I program the 'click of the OK button.' I am assuming it will be some kind of API call that windows uses. Ive looked on Technet and google but I've found nothing, Can anyone help, please????? Thanks PAul
  3. Yep, it does work. But don't think you can nick a copy of the file from your mates activated copy of WIndows and transfer it to a different machine. It doesn't work.
  4. If I create a WinPE Cd using the beta files from Longhorn, will WMI work? I heard it would be released in the new version of Winpe shipped with longhorn... And I mean Microsoft WInPE NOT BartPE
  5. KBDGR.DLL - thats the German Keyboard dll file isn't it??
  6. you need to start call the MSI by specifying MSIEXEC first at the beginning of the line. ie: msiexec /i "install.msi /QB" HTH Paul
  7. try using netset.exe from the resource kit to sort out your administrator accounts bits. It is alot more reliable and easier to use than using net.exe
  8. Your spelling is off! Quote:"Repatrition=No" Repartition is spelt incorrectly. Thats why it isn't working. HTH Paul
  9. Is the CMDOW.exe file in your c:\windows\system32 folder?? That could cause it to hang..
  10. Could someone please advise why using CMD files is better than using BAT and provide links or some sample code on what different commands there are in a cmd file. I use a cmd file currently in my unattend as described all over this forum to populate my guirunonceex keys. Any advice on this would be very appreciated. Many thanks Paul
  11. Try this: Run dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q" to perform a silent installation. HTH Paul
  12. Try getting it to scratch its butt!!! LMAO
  13. I know it isn't supported like you say by MS, but I have seen it done. Just can't seem to get it working myself... :-(
  14. Many thanks! {bows low and long} you are gods !!! ;-)
  15. Has anyone out there managed to strip down IE6 flatpack? Ive downloaded the files from MS and have a 78MB folder. When I install Ie6sp1 it installs a total of 18.1MB. Experimenting, I can delete certain cabs files before I install IE, as it doesnt install the components in those cabs(i have a custom IE install). Does anyone have a list of the cabs and what each one does? I want to try and strip out all the cabs file that are not needed for a very basic IE6 install.
  16. I understand that part, its actually getting winPE on to the USB key and configuring it to boot that is the problem!! :-)
  17. Has anyone out there managed to get WinPe booting off a USB key? I havent managed to get this working. If anyone has can they please provide some instructions on how to do it please? Ultimately, I want to boot WinPe from the usb key, connect to a network share and install windows xp or windows 2000.
  18. The problem is though, that when computers get rebuilt the recycler for the original SID is left on the H Drive, and a new one created. If you imagine each user had 5mb in the bin and there are 10K users, thats a lot of wasted space. Main problem is that the users get charged per meg for storage and so get billed for what is i the recycle bin. I dont see why there should be one on a redirected drive anyway, bad MS coding?? Anyway thanks Gosh, looks like ill have to be stuck with this one.
  19. come on chaps!! Someone must have done this!!!!
  20. Ok guys\gals, cna you figure this one out?? Windows 2000 Clients in a win2k AD. All have My Documents redirected to their H Drive ( A network drive). A recycle bin has been created on the H Drive (due to the folder redirection) and I want to a) Stop the creation of it leave the recycler working on local drives only, ie c,d,e Ive scoured the net but drawn a blank., Anyone have any idea's??? Many thanks Paul
  21. For anyone that is interested, the answer was to change the Net Start line to: Net Start Basic All works ok now P
  22. Guys\Gals, Im having some problems with a bootdisk. I have attached all the code below. basically the problem is with the Broadcom driver. It gets halfway through loading the DOS TCP stack, and then gives an Error1 message. Any one have any idea's?? It took ages to find the broadcom driver and that part seems to load ok. Im stumped. It falls over after the TinyRFC bit of the stack load.
